there was something going to turn up, so I
crept behind a rock and watched. I
reckon that coyote kept his nose up in the
air for ten minutes at a stretch then he
made quick jump to one side, aud then
grab at the RATHER, all SO sudden that the
snake was taken unawares, and struck at
least foot from him, and before he could
get into coil, the coyote was right on top of
him. But the RATHER twisted around, when
the coyote leaped about forty feet away.
Then he began to sing just as he had be-
fore, and b the old RATHER coiled and made
no sign to get up and 90. concluded they
were having set-to, and the singing was
between the rounds. 1t was not long be-
fore they called time, and the coyote did
just as he had done before, only he jumped
the other way and fooled the RATHER again,
that struck out and hit nothing then, be-
fore it could haul back, the coyote gave
jump and grabbed it by the neck and
pulled it off the ground, and after trotting
off few PAGES, he sat down and began to
eat it.

A Sample Millionaire.

A miner in Leadville. Col, who can
neither read nor write, is worth to-day at
least $4,000 900. Four years ago be hadn't
penny, except what he earned from day
to day as miner. His name is John l..
Morrissey. He is a young man, not more
than thirty two or thirty-three. The
Grown Point mine, like Tom Bowen's
Golconda, was just about paying expenses.
Her owners offered to sell her for $40, 900.
Morrissey went to chicago and interested
Diamond Joe Reynolds in the matter.
Reynolds knew that Morrissey was an au-
thority on mining, even if he couldn't
write his name. He finally purchased the
Grown Point, agreeing to give Morrissey a
half interest after the original sum was re-
paid. Within thirty days they struck
vein of high-class ore that has yielded
them monthly income of SIS, 900 apiece
evspsince. There is said to be S., O00, 900
worth of ore in sight. Morrissey cannot
even tell the time of day Il is stock joke
among the boys, if you ask Morrissey what
o'clock it is, for him to pull from his fob

Kaiser williams Ways at Home AT the
Opera-Receptions.


Emperor William does not smoke ncr
take snuff. Neither does he wear specta-
cles. When reading or writing he uses an
eyeglass, although he does not wish to ad-
nit that his sight is growing weak. His
majesty sleeps as soundly as the healthiest
of youths, and never takes a rest during
the course of the day. He always receives
standing up in his salon, after having
changed his old uniform for more correct
one. Should he receive prince who has
conferred on him the purely honorary
command OF regiment that bears his
name, his majesty always wears the uni
form of that particular regiment. In this
respect there is never the slightest deroga-
ton from the rigid rule of etiquette.
Hence his majesty has frequently to
change his uniform three or four times
within an hour or two,
The emperor was always distinguished
for his exquisite courtesy and gaIlantry.
And now, although near 80 years of age,
he bestows on the empress the most deli
cate attentions. He loves to go and spend
an hour at the opera, which is quite near,
but he never disposes of his time during the
evenings without first consulting the en-
PAee5s Livery cfouluB tu6y take Lea tOgeLQ-
or, and the emperor is never absent him
self without having first scquairt ID
the empress Of his intention and receiving
her permission. 1t is during dinner, which
takes place at six o'clock, that his majesty
decides as to how he shall spend the even
Tag. These dinners are of the simplest
kind, never more than three courses,
and the repast rarely lasts more than half
an hour.
When the emperor receives permission
to pass the evening in his own way he may
be seen at the opera, not in the grand re-
ception box, which occupies all the center
OF the hall but in an avant-scene of the first
story, where, near the actors, he can see
better and can catch every word. The
official box is filed with cbamberlains in
grand tenue, officers in brilliant uniforms.
and ladies of the palace in gorgeous toilet,
while the emperor himself, in his plain
uniform, bows and smiles at the aristo-
cratic ladies and distinguished danes in
the body of the house. When the play is
over. which is generally little after nine
o'clock, his majesty returns to the palace;
he takes cup of tea, and, at ten o'clock, if
more important receptions do not retain
him in the apartments of the empress, he
retires to rest like simple workman, salts
fed with his days toll, and ready to re-
sumo it again on the following morning.

China,s Empress as Reformer.

The empress of China has caused great
commotion among her counsellors by her
liberal ideas and her conduct. She has
abated the rigor of court etiquette, has
transferred her residence from the winter
palace to the castle in the Imperial park,
and does not conceal her opinion that re-
forms in social and religious matters are
needed, and that China can no longer keep
ap her isolation from the rest of the world.
The conservatives complain that her con-
duct is weakening the popular belief in the
divine power of the Imperial house, and
are confirmed in their belief that woman
is unft to rule country.

Wales at Rothschild's Table.

Not very lolg ago the Prince of Wales
was invited to breakfast with the Baron de
Rothschild. The Prince remarked upon
the very excellent quality of the roast beef
and betrayed little surprise that it was
exactly the same, if not quite as good, as
was served at his own table in London.
.Nothing astonishing in that" said
Nine. de Roths shild, smiling. sit was the
butcher of your royal highness who sent us
the meat from London"
But" added the Prince, ''the prepara-

of the house, "since telegraphed for the
cook of the club of your royal highness to
come over and prepare the breakfast be-
fore u.s."
Questioned by the prince bon vivant as
to what his delicate attention cost him. the
baron was obliged to confess that the roast
beef. including the fee to the cook, had
cost HIN more than $500.
